Re: Tightwad tips for Championship, Atlanta

There is a Costco somewhere in Atlanta (sorry I don't know exactly where). Last year our team made a trip there and got enough lunch and breakfast food for the team for the entire week. We passed out the breakfast foods for the week (juices, muffins, granola bars - we were trying to be somewhat healthy) to everyone the first night. Lunch was sandwich makings, fruit, chips, and drinks. A couple of parents kept the food in coolers in their hotel between times. Every evening we would announce that lunch would be at such and such a time at a particular grassy area near the dome. Time was selected according to our match schedule. If you made it, it was all-you-can-eat (and some on our team can eat!) If you missed it, you bought your own. Pit crew members were saved food for when they were free.

I wouldn't encourage people to bring food in the dome. Yes, people have in the past but you don't know how tight their security will be this year.
